<P CLASS=para>
This class implements the <tt CLASS=literal>LayoutManager</tt> interface to
lay out <tt CLASS=literal>Component</tt> objects in a <tt CLASS=literal>Container</tt>.
<tt CLASS=literal>FlowLayout</tt> arranges components in a container
like words on a page: from left to right and top to bottom.
It fits as many components as it can in a row before
moving on to the next row.  The constructor allows you to
specify one of three constants as an alignment value for
the rows, and also allows you to specify horizontal spacing
between components and vertical spacing between rows.

<P CLASS=para>
Note that applications should never call the
<tt CLASS=literal>LayoutManager</tt> methods of this class directly; the
<tt CLASS=literal>Container</tt> for which the <tt CLASS=literal>FlowLayout</tt> is
registered does this.
